Importing material from Bridge to AE (beginner)

In a recent AE tutorial I was enjoying, I was prompted to go to animation and browse presets to try them out, which launches Bridge.  When I double clicked the preset I wished to use, AE displayed a message:  After Effects error:  Can't import file, unsupported filetype or extension.  The extension after every effect in Bridge is:  ffx
I tired calling Adobe, but held endlessly...
Thanks!!!

Animation presets aren't files that you import. They are collections of layer properties that you apply to layers. Applying them from Bridge is (I think) a pain; it's much easier to apply them through the Effects & Presets panel. See this page for information about applying animation presets (and effects). See this page for an overview of what animation presets are and how you work with them.
But, really, since you're new to After Effects, I very strongly recommend that you begin from the beginning and work your way through the getting-started resources here:

  • How To import collections from Bridge cs6 To Bridge CC

    How To import collection from Bridge cs6 To Bridge CC??
    thx

    How To import collection from Bridge cs6 To Bridge CC??
    A collection is a bunch of aliases to the original files in their original place. If you have upgraded to CC on the same machine you can use the same collection, on a different machine it will possible not find the correct location again.
    On a Mac the path for the saved collections is : User / library/ application Support / Adobe/ BridgeCS6 / collections. Inhere are the saved collections showing the names you gave them. You can copy these collection files to the same location in Bridge CC.
    If you have a different machine you best first choose the collection and add a keyword with the name of the collection to all the files in this particular collection so you can use the find command to easily recreate the collection on your new machine.
    Maybe someone with more knowledge of Windows can show you the correct path but it should be something similar as on a Mac.

  • Importing movie from bridge

    I am fairly new at this game so be gentle. I recently found a great tutorial on You tube on how to insert a movie into Photoshop using Image Ready. However when I drag the file from bridge and then go to my animation button making sure the file is not to large it reads that the file is 0 sec long am I missing a step here....why is the imported file 0 sec long when it is at least 10-12 secs long before I cut it down in I mage Ready.
    Is ther a easier way

    oh and i also have a registaration code for quicktime
    pro if you want to upgrade. it also allows you to
    export videos to ipod video format....
    I believe you get the award for the dumbest user I've seen in a long time.
    Commiting software piracy of an Apple product on an Apple public forum might not be such a good idea.
    Including your e-mail address was just the icing on the cake for me.
    Oh... I also reported you to the hosts. I'm sure they'd be interested in what you're offering to other users.

  • Importing material from dvd

    does anyone know how to import video from a dvd for editing?
    i have material that isn't on a camcorder, it's contained in dvd and i can't seem to figure out how to import.
    thank you!
    claire

    It would be helpful if you would read the posts you are responding to carefully before responding. I don't appreciate being accused of some illegality. My stated goal was to rip recorded DVDs. MY recorded DVDs. Not commercial copyright protected stamped DVDs. There are no copyright or legal issues involved, which was what half your response indicated. I detailed to the salesperson exactly what I was trying to do, and he stated as a fact the imac would do it, and the help text also indicates it would do it.
    I''d agree with you NOW that recorded DVDs are not suitable for further editing--the results are poor based on my experience. But I was also told I'd be able to do this with no loss or even better looking results--not that I believed the latter. I didn't think the results would look like third or fourth generation. If I had been told that the day of purchase, I wouldn't have.
    What does "you can import video from a CD or DVD" mean if not, in the vernacular, ripping a DVD? I don't believe imovie indicates anywhere that it ONLY imports DV files, and it will import .mov which I assume it converts to .dv. Imovie does its own conversion in some cases, just not in the case of ripping from a recorded DVD, which it states and was advertised as doing.
    Also from imovie help:
    "Importing video from a VHS tape or other non-digital format
    You can also have your video transferred to digital format by a company that offers digital processing services. You can often choose whether to have your footage transferred to DVD or digital videotape. After your video has been digitally processed, you can import it into iMovie."
    What use would it be to have it transfered to DVD if imovie couldn't import it, as this statement indicates you can do?
    Seems to me Apple intended at some point in time to provide this ability in imovie and then changed its mind. Not providing the ability restricts my ability to import/copy/rip information I've recorded. That makes no sense.
    Note that I am not advocating being able to rip commercial copyright protected stamped DVDs.
    Sorry--I don't agree with most of the points in your post. imovie was intended to be a fairly comprehensive all-purpose edit tool from what I can see.
    Again, from imovie help:
    "Movie HD supports importing a variety of video formats, including DV, widescreen DV, high definition (HDV), MPEG-4 (Simple Profile), and more. You can also capture live video with your iSight (including the built-in iSight on your iMac) and send it directly to iMovie HD.
    If you have video or audio clips stored on your computer, you can drag them into an iMovie HD project from your desktop. You can even drag video and audio clips from one iMovie HD project to another!
    ...Magic iMovie can import your footage from a DV or HDV camcorder via FireWire and assemble it into a movie, complete with a title, transitions between scenes, and even a music track of your choosing."
    Nothing there about only importing .dv. And even if imovie was .dv only, how would someone new to macs know that, given all this text and the salesman telling you otherwise! Very confusing!

  • Import collections from Bridge CS5 to CS6

    Hi
    I have a system of collections organized in Bridge CS5 that I would like to continue having in CS6. I see a handful of CS5 preferences being imported as I installed CS6, but not the collections. Any tricks to this?

    I have copied the Collections folder from Bridge CS5 to CS6 (in Snow Leopard).
    The images are all there, but the order has changed.
    Is there a better way to do this?
    I can't open both versions of Bridge at the same time in order to copy the proper order....
    I suppose i could print screenshots of the CS5 collection and then correct it in CS6.
    There must be a better way! This could take hours.

  • Importing files from Bridge into a stack in Photoshop

    Hi guys,
    Photoshop has a great function of loading files into a single stack, so as not to have many 10's of files to open. Bridge on the other hand allows for better viewing and navigation through folders etc. Just wondering if it was possible to select all the files you wanted open to a stack from bridge but these then to open in photoshop in a single psd file. It is possible to open all the files from Bridge then run the load in stack from the open files but then you have to close each file manually.
    Any help would be much appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

    Sorry for any confusion. If you imagine using Bridge simply to select the images you want and highlighting them, nothing more, more nothing less. (because of better thumnail previews). These are now the images I want to perform the Photoshop "load files into Stack" script on. The only way this is possible is to the above mentioned, open hte files run the script and then close the files manually but as I have other files open can be very annoying going through them all. The other way is to write down the files names on a piece of paper and then find these files again through Photoshop/open, but as you can understand this is far too time consuming if you have 15-20 files to open at a time. This is basically because although you can choose the files in Bridge you cannot copy that selection to Photoshop. If this were possible it would also sort out the issue as I would have the correct files selected to run the script directky in Photoshop.
    Hope this is a bit clearer.

  • Problem importing keywords from bridge

    I have a .mrw image that I use Bridge CS3 to add four keywords a,b,c,d. When I view them in Bridge it shows the four keywords checked. I looked at the XMP file with wordpad and see them there as well. When I import the xmp file under Lightroom only keywords a,b & c are shown. I looked at the .xmp file in the imported file location for light room and the d keyword is missing from it as well. I tried this using a .nef image from my nikon and it doesn't seem to have the problem
    Has anyone seen this problem before? Any work around?

    I've done some more investigation on the problem I've described above. In the xmp for the image I have a keyword written by bridge of "Sandy" with the upper case "S". In the lighroom keyword list I already had "sandy" with the "s" being lower case. The import of the "Sandy" keyword in the xmp file of my image failed. If I removed "sandy" or renamed it "Sandy" in the Lightroom list then "Sandy" imported fine. If I tried adding "Sandy" in addition to "sandy" in the lightroom list I got an error saying that the keyword existed and the add failed. From that test it appears that within Lightroom "Sandy" and "sandy" are the same keyword, but coming in on an import they aren't.
    Has anyone else noticed this? Is it normal?

  • Importing stacks from Bridge to Lightroom

    Hi all. I am looking to convert and import my photos from Adobe Bridge to Lightroom. In doing so however I haven't been able to maintain the stacks that I've created in Bridge (i.e. have the stacks show in Lightroom). Is this simply not possible? Can I get Lightroom to import the Bridge catalogue information some how?

    There's really no benefit to using two different photo management programs, Bridge and Lightroom. Furthermore, if you are using Lightroom, you ought NOT to be moving or rating or managing your photos in Bridge in any way. Lightroom is not a file browser, it does not know when you move photos in another program.
    You assign stars in Lightroom; you manage/organize photos in Lightroom preferably by assigning keywords and other metadata, but if you absolutely must move them to a different folder (which I don't recommend), you do that in Lightroom too. Specifically in this case, the Filter Bar in Lightroom allows you to find any photos with a specified number of stars (for example, all 5 star photos) without you actually having to move them to a different folder.
    To fix the existing problem, each photo that has been moved has either a question-mark icon or an exclamation point icon. The way you fix the problem is to point at the question-mark or exclamation point icon and then a dialog box will ask you to find the photo in your folder hierarchy. More details are here: Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders

  • PSE9 and importing images from Bridge

    I have been using PSE8, and Bridge on my Mac for importing photos to the computer.  I uninstalled it before  upgrading to PSE9 and find Bridge no longer is used, and it seems the Organiser is the way to go.  How do I import all the images (several hundred) that were stored in folders on Bridge to PSE9's Organiser?  Will the folders come across intact, or will I have to sort and grade them all again?  Should I reinstall PSE8 just to use Bridge?  Any advice appreciated.  Thanks. Susan199

    Nothing is stored in Bridge. Bridge is just a file browser: it shows you the current state of any folder you point it at.
    If you want to Organize your photos, just use File>Get Photos>From Files and Folders and have it import the images in your current folders. Bridge keywords are metadata keywords recognized by many programs including organizer (however, organizer keywords, like those in iphoto, are proprietary to organizer and will not automatically be picked up by other programs, unless you write them into the files).
    If you want to use Bridge with PSE 9, that's also possible, with the caveat that you can't update the bridge raw converter anymore, so you won't see thumbnails for images from newer cameras. Directions on using an existing version of bridge with PSE 9 are here:
    http://barbarabrundage.com/2011/01/13/using-bridge-with-photoshop-elements-9/
    Organizer has a folder view which will recognize your existing folders, but if you decide to make Organizer your photo manager of choice, it's best to stop thinking in terms of folders. Use tags instead and stop thinking using folders for organization.

  • Import Keywords from Bridge ?

    I have a lot of keywords in Bridge and I'd love to bring them in LR (no way I'm going to retype them all). Is there any way to do that ?
    Thanks !
    Matt

    It is a bit fiddly, but essentially you need a tabbed text file. Create a few in Lightroom as an example then Export the Keywords, that will give you the structure.
    Places
    USA
    New York
    Washington
    United Kingdom
    London
    Birmingham
    Events
    etc
    Bridge's are in XML so you need to clear the code out
    It was a pity that they are not both in XML, but maybe version 2.0

  • Importing data from form to excel (beginner)

    I need assistance with a pretty lengthy survey I'm creating. I am finding it difficult to find answers on the question/help and in the forums largely because I don't know what the right questions to ask are.
    I would like to create a survey where the end-uese fills it in and emails it to me. I would like to take the xml file received via email and import the results into an excel spreadsheet, one line per each survey result.
    The biggest problem is that I know enough to get myself into trouble but not enough to get myself out of it and any and all assistance would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Similar to the original posting, I have also created a form for individuals to complete and email back to me. I will not be receiving a one time response, however, these individuals will email me a newly completed copy of the form at various times throughout the year for multiple years.  I need to get the data into a designated excel spreadsheet each time I receive a newly completed form. What is the simplest way to achieve this?
    Thank you

  • Importing material from old VHS cassettes

    Hi all,
    I have a large collection of old VHS video cassettes that I used to shoot film 10-20 years ago. I would like to be able to bring extracts into FCE4. Could someone tell me what I would need in the way of hardware and software to be able to do this??
    Thanks!

    Hi Waterton, This may not be the most cost effective way of solving your dilemma but I had a very similar problem with some old VHS-C footage and a whole batch of VHS cassettes. IN the end I bit the bullet and purchased the Canopus ADVC-110. It has enough variation in input and output to suit most formats and is a dream to use. Have a look on the link below.

  • Importing video from disk

    I'm new to FCE, to Mac, and to asking for help.
    My embarassingly quaint question is: Why can't I import material from my Sony disk? Using my Samsung DVD recorder, I've transferred my video onto a regular 4.5" disk; but FCE tells me it's in the wrong format and won't accept it.
    I have to use this dodgey system because I don't have the appropriate cable to feed directly from my cheapie Canon ZR 900 into my Mac. (I'm desperately trying to find one).
    Please put me out of my misery.
    And thank you.

    The ZR900 is a vanilla miniDV camcorder.
    All you need is an inexpensive 4-pin to 6-pin FireWire cable (or a 4-pin to 9-pin FireWire cable if you have a newer iMac that only has a FW800 port).
    The 4-pin plug goes into your ZR900's FireWire port; the 6-pin or 9-pin plug goes into your iMac depending on whether it has FW400 (6-pin) or FW800 (9-pin) ports. Then you can capture your video directly into FCE.
    These are available lots of places ... Amazon, buy.com, newgg.com, MacMall, monoprice.com ... your local RadioShack and often big box or office supply stores should also have these cables.
